  • a page index may be varied according to a manufacturer's intention or a user's setting.
  • the mobile device may dispose the newly created eleventh page WP 11 at the center of the screen between the third page WP 3 located to the left and the first page WP 1 located to the right.
  • the eleventh page WP 11 may be an empty page without any widget icon or the like.
  • a title of the newly created eleventh page WP 11 may be predetermined, as default. For example, the term “New Page” may be presented or the page may be outputted as a blank page
  • the page edit screen 220 may further have a location bar 221 disposed, for example, at the top of the eleventh page WP 11 .
  • the location bar 221 indicates the total number of pages and relative locations of currently displayed pages. As shown, the location bar 221 is composed of ten boxes that have the third, fourth and fifth boxes distinguished from the remaining boxes.
  • the location bar 221 in this exemplary example of a new page, shows that ten pages are used for the home screen and that the currently displayed third, eleventh and first pages WP 3 , WP 11 and WP 1 are located at the third, fourth and fifth positions among the ten pages.
  • the location bar 221 may be also displayed on the aforementioned screen 210 .
  • the boxes, which are indications of associated pages, of the location bar 221 are increased or decreased depending on the addition or deletion of pages.
  • a user wants to see a specific page through the whole area of the page edit screen 220 , the user may act to create a motion sensing signal, a key input signal or a touch event. For instance, when the page edit screen 220 is displayed in a widthwise mode, a user can turn the mobile device to a lengthwise position. Then the mobile device regards such a motion as an input signal instructing a whole view of a specific single page.
  • the mobile device outputs a single page on the entire screen as indicated by a reference number 230 .
  • the mobile device may select a page centrally disposed on the page edit screen 220 for an output on the entire screen.
  • the mobile device may receive an input signal for registering a new widget on the whole view screen 230 .
  • an input signal for a widget register may be a touch event of a long press in which a touchdown event is continued for a particular length of time. If such a touch event occurs, the mobile device outputs a widget register screen 240 .
  • the widget register screen 240 allows registering a selected widget to the newly created eleventh page WP 11 .
  • the mobile device offers an icon tree region 241 containing at least one widget icon on the screen.
  • a user can select one of the widget icons contained in the icon tree region 241 and then move the selected widget icon to the eleventh page WP 11 through a drag operation (or cut and paste operation).
  • a user can move any widget icon within the eleventh page WP 11 through a touch and drag operation.
  • the mobile device may allow the movement of a widget icon only when the icon tree region 241 is activated.
  • the mobile device when receiving an input signal for a shift to the page edit screen, the mobile device outputs the aforesaid page edit screen 220 having an arrangement of pages.
  • the mobile device provides the page edit screen for adding or deleting a page used for the home screen and hence allows a quick and convenient means to edit of a page without a complicate key input. Since the page edit screen outputs several pages on a single screen, it is possible to easily check the total number of pages and also realize a simple and integrated management of all pages.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B are exemplary view illustrating a process for adding or deleting a selected page during the edit of a home screen for a mobile device in accordance with another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • the mobile device may receive a user's input for activating the page edit screen when the second page WP 2 is displayed on the home screen. Then the mobile device may dispose the second page WP 2 at the center of the screen, the first page WP 1 to the left, and the third page WP 3 to the right, as shown in a screen indicated by a reference number 310 .
  • the mobile device may not display a page addition button.
  • a user When a user wants to create a new page, they can invoke a touch event at a boundary between adjacent pages. For instance, a user can make a sweeping action along a boundary which corresponds to a desired location of a new page. If a user wants to create a new page between the second and third pages WP 2 and WP 3 , he or she sweeps their finger over the display unit in an upward direction along a boundary between the second and third pages WP 2 and WP 3 . Then the mobile device creates and outputs a new page NP between the second and third pages WP 2 and WP 3 , as shown in a screen indicated by a reference number 320 .
  • the mobile device removes the third page WP 3 from the screen and instead outputs a new page NP.
  • the mobile device may remove the first page WP 1 , move the second page WP 2 to the left, and output the new page NP at the center.
  • the page edit screen 310 has a location bar composed of five boxes which indicate a total of five pages. After a new page NP is added, on the page edit screen 320 the location bar comes to have six boxes. Meanwhile, instead of the aforesaid upward sweep event, a user may alternatively take a sweep action in a downward direction along a boundary between the second and third pages WP 2 and WP 3 , and the mobile device may regard a user's downward sweep event as an input for adding a new page.
  • the mobile device may receive a user's input for activating the page edit screen when the second page WP 2 is displayed on the home screen. Then the mobile device may dispose the second page WP 2 at the center of the screen, the first page WP 1 to the left, and the third page WP 3 to the right, as shown in a screen indicated by a reference number 330 .
  • the mobile device may not display a page addition button.
  • a user When a user wants to delete a specific page, they can invoke an input event for deleting a desired page. For instance, a user can touch a desired page to be deleted and then take a sweep action in a particular direction.
  • a sweep direction is any direction except directions toward other pages. Namely, in this case, a sweep direction includes an upward, downward or rightward direction.
  • the mobile device When receiving a sweep event in a given direction on a specific page, the mobile device removes a selected page from the display unit and also deletes it from a page list.
